The respectful inquiry of the young man in green clothes left Lu Heng utterly dumbfounded.

"Sword King? Huo Feng? Shattering the mountains with a single sword?"

Lu Heng looked at the two young men in green clothes with a peculiar expression, realizing that things might be different from what he had imagined.

"Could you both kindly elaborate on the story of this Sword King Huo Feng?" Lu Heng asked inquisitively.

Originally, he intended to travel under the guise of the Yun sect, but judging from the situation, it seems that the Yun sect is no longer a prominent sect, correct? contemporary romance

But it has only been a mere four thousand years!

In the past four thousand years, and even tens of thousands of years before that, the Yun sect was the largest prominent sect in the Celestial Desolation Realm. Its disciples were spread throughout, and its heritage remained strong with the passage of time.

Could it be that the Yun sect, which once flourished throughout the Celestial Desolation Realm, has lost its lineage within just a few thousand years since Lu Heng's departure?

To the extent that people are astonished upon hearing of a disciple of the Yun sect?

What is this talk of ancient the Yun sect

This appellation sounds as if the discontinuation of the Yun sect's lineage was not a recent occurrence?

Moreover, Sword King Huo Feng? A single sword shattering the mountains and rivers of the heavens?

Shouldn't Huo Feng be sealed beneath the depths of Hanyu Mountain? If Lu Heng doesn't make a move, who will be able to rescue him?

Could it be a case of having the same name and surname?

Lu Heng's expression was peculiar, while the two young men in green robes exchanged another glance, their attitude becoming increasingly respectful.

Qingye respectfully said, "Senior, Sword King Huo Feng is a top-notch innate cultivator from the ancient Yun sect. Two thousand years ago, he shattered the mountains and rivers of the heavens with a single sword, frightening the demons of the Northern Domain. Although he is elusive and difficult to find for ordinary people, his reputation has spread far and wide. Even we younger generations are aware of his renowned name."

Having said that, he cautiously said to Lu Heng, "Senior, do you happen to know the Sword King?"

Lu Heng smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

He has already gained ample experience in being misunderstood, being aware that at this moment, whether he acknowledges knowing or not knowing, it could potentially lead to significant misunderstandings.

Therefore, Lu Heng completely disregarded the young man's inquiry and said, "In this desolate wilderness, my esteemed brothers have traversed great distances Is there anything that requires attention? Would you care to enlighten me on what has occurred?"

Lu Heng's noncommittal response appeared slightly impolite, but the two young men in blue dared not express any grievances.

Furthermore, as Lu Heng remained silent, they dared not pursue further questioning, instead respectfully responding to Lu Heng's inquiries.

"Respecting the elder, two hours ago, there was a comet striking the moon in this vicinity, and as this place is not far from the Linmu Mountain, the sect's elders dispatched us to investigate the situation."

Qingye responded succinctly, without divulging too much information.

Regarding this, Lu Heng chuckled and said, "I see. Understood. Thank you, my esteemed brothers."

After finishing his words, Lu Heng nodded respectfully towards the two individuals and departed with the young white dragon girl.

Not until they were far away from this desolate wilderness did the young girl couldn't help but speak up, "Master, we finally encountered two living beings, and they are cultivators from the Celestial Desolation Realm. Why didn't you inquire about the affairs of the Celestial Desolation Realm? It seems that a lot has happened there since your departure, even the renowned Moluo Sword Master, whom you once sealed, has emerged Perhaps Hanyu Mountain has undergone significant transformations as well."

The young lady was eager to find out the current status of her senior martial siblings in the Celestial Desolation Realm.

Within the streak of escape light, Lu Heng shook his head and said, "Let us not be hasty. The current state of the Celestial Desolation Realm is vastly different from when I departed. We should observe the situation from the shadows before taking any reckless actions."

The cautious behavior of Lu Heng left the young lady rolling her eyes in exasperation.

"Master! You're coming home! Not infiltrating enemy camps for intelligence gathering!" the girl said in frustration, "There's no one here who wants to harm you! Why do you make it seem so perilous? Even if news of your return gets out, would anyone dare to cause trouble for you?"

With a chuckle, Lu Heng replied, "No one would actually bother to come looking for trouble. After all, I have always been amicable and rarely make enemies."

"Just wanted to see how things have changed after four thousand years, and what kind of people those unenlightened disciples have grown into."

"If I were to openly show myself, they would surely come rushing towards me all at once, and it would become very difficult for me to understand what they have been up to during these four thousand years."

"Only by hiding in the shadows and observing slowly, from the perspective of an ordinary person, can one truly understand what these disciples have become. Even I, as a master, wish to see how these four thousand years have shaped them, whether each and every one of them has achieved greatness."

Upon hearing Lu Heng's words, the White Dragon maiden was left speechless and bewildered, "Wow! Master, are you being so devious? Are you planning to gather evidence of wrongdoing from your senior disciples and bring them all to justice?"

Lu Heng shrugged and said, "We cannot rule out this possibility What if our Hanyu Mountain has been infiltrated by the demonic path? The Moluo Sword Master, who was suppressed back then, managed to wield the title of Sword King and spread fear throughout the seas. With the passage of four thousand years, everything has changed. Who knows what those foolish disciples have become without any restraints?"

"I would not be surprised if someone truly stepped onto the path of evil."

Lu Heng said, "The most frightening aspect of the Tao Scripture is that every cultivator walks a path that is uniquely tailored to them. Even I, as a master, cannot speculate on the future of a cultivator So, once lacking the supervision and restraints, they may easily become unrestrained. As a result, preparations must be made in advance to clean up and regulate our ranks."

Upon hearing Lu Heng's words, the young girl hmphed, "Making all sorts of excuses, I can see that you simply feel too ashamed to go back and face those disciples you abandoned four thousand years ago Hmph It seems that Martial Sister Xiao Ai and her Heavenly Thunder Sword have truly made you apprehensive, Master."

The White Dragon maiden held an additional level of reverence towards the unfamiliar Martial Sister Xiao Ai.

Regarding this, Lu Heng could only smile helplessly Who was it after all that caused the separation between me and my disciples for over four thousand years?

Shaking his head silently, Lu Heng forcefully tapped the back of the White Dragon maiden's head and said, "Enough chatter, let's proceed into the city."

With that, Lu Heng directly pressed down on the cloud head and descended into the city ahead.

There are enchantments set around this city, and if anyone were to fly over, it would surely attract the attention of the wizards within the city.

However, Lu Heng's cultivation at this moment was vastly different from before. He directly descended into the city on a cloud, but it didn't cause the slightest ripple of astonishment, nor did anyone notice his arrival.

Standing on the bustling street, the White Dragon maiden curiously looked around and said, "This place seems to be a temple? It's quite prosperous, isn't it?"

Lu Heng pointed at the enormous archway ahead and said, "Fire God Temple, in each city of the Fire Pass Country, there are such temples where wizards reside Hmm, it seems that four thousand years have passed, and at the very least, the structure of the Fire Pass Country hasn't changed."

With that, Lu Heng led the maiden towards the magnificent temple ahead.

This city is named Sanchi City, a city that Lu Heng has never visited before. He left this place over four thousand years ago, so naturally, he is not familiar with the Wuzhu here. However, each Fire God Temple has a library, and the books inside are mostly the same. They contain numerous volumes on magical arts, including books that mention legends and biographies of the cultivation world.

Therefore, Lu Heng casually chose a city and walked inside, wanting to take a look at the books in the library.
